we know that
Marianne has \(\frac{5}{8}\) pound of peas
If she cooks \(\frac{2}{3}\) pound of peas of the total
then
Marianne cooks \(\frac{5}{8} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{10}{24} =\frac{5}{12} \ pounds\)
to calculate the quantity of peas served to each person
Divide \(\frac{5}{12} \ pounds\) by \(5\)
\(\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{5} =\frac{5}{12*5} =\frac{1}{12} \ pounds\)
therefore
the answer is
\(\frac{1}{12} \ pounds\)
